This has got to be one of the best movie scores i have ever had the pleasure of hearing in my LIFE. i love both of Tim Burtons Batman movies and Elmans score in both of them are just superb. but in THIS one, he totally outdoes himself. what an opening to this GREAT film, and elfmans music makes it even BETTER, as if those terric visuals werent enough. this music matches the film expertly, and it makes me excited everytime i watch it. the opening with the Penguin floating into the sewer, combined with elfmans AMAZING Batman theme, the buildup, everything! its pure cinamatic magic, and Burton is simply only HALF of the greatness your watching. elfmans themes here are more emotional and at times, sadder then the first batman film. to me, this batman feels more like a real batman film, more of a RAW experince. its still in this fanstasy, nightmarish gotham city, and elfmans really plays with that, making gotham into a real scary, clostraphobic (sp?) enviroment where you could believe Batman would be stalking. the reviewer who said this film is "horrendous" is just plain wrong, cuz not only is the music amazing, but the film itself is just an EXPERIENCE. this is a sountrack that not just every Batman fan should own, but every fan of classical music. its THAT good. elfmans score here isso many things. its deep, emotinal, majestic, quirky, fun, heroic, sad, pessimistic, DARK, and so RICH. it has layers and layers of different themes and motifs. its just a work of pure ART, much like the film itself. a dark dream of heroes, villians, dark angels, frightning landscapes. its just Dark music at its best. i agree with the reviewer who said that elfman is the ONLY man to score superhero movies. he can be light, dark, and VERY dark. i prefer VERY dark, lol. i rented Batman Begins a while ago and i must say, while the film itself was lackluster and pretty horrible, one of its biggest flaws was the music score. it was very mch clich'ed, overly emotional and just didnt feel........BATMAN enough. it wasnt very dark, and it felt more like newton and howard or whoever did it were scoreing a spierman movie or a superman mvoie, not Batman. i was very dissapointed with the new batman movie, and while it wasnt as crappy as "batmanb and Robin", the movie and the score idnt pack a punch like the first 2 burton films had. it just was not good. if the music in a movie aint good, its likely the movie will suffer IMO. once again, Elfman proves that he can do just about anything that is DARK, GRITTY, and GOTHIC. and the end song called "face to face" is also a real heartbreaker. it is a very sensual, sad, yet playful song that, by the sound of thelyrics, is supposed to reflect Catwomans thought about "duality" with her normal self and her Catwoman self, much like Batman himself. its a great song that perfectly compliments the Batman/Catwoman relationship we see brilliantly potrayed in the movie. the song is played in the scene when Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle meet at the Masqurade Ball and they discover each others secret identities. one of my all time FAVORITE scenes and this song just makes it better. i LOVEthis movie, and this Elfmans BRILLIANT score makes it a winner. last though: Burton + Elfman = BATMAN!!. PICK UP THIS SOUNDTRACK AND MOVIE RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!!

Well, not as good as the first films score, but still worthy of one of Elfman's best. Seriously, not just a Batman fan will enjoy this piece of music. Anyone who enjoys scores from films will get into. As soon as I received it in the mail and listened to it, I wanted to put on my batsuit and kick some ass....the one I don't own. Buy this though if your a true Movie Score fan.

Danny Elfman once again scores with this sequal score. While certainly not as good as Batman, Batman Returns perfectly captures the creepiness of the Penguin, the choir that begins the cd is different and quite enjoyable. After that point of course, Elfman launches into his heroic Batman montiff, but there is something different about this score. Perhaps it is not as good because it is much darker than the original or perhaps it is simply that the novelty has warn off, that this score is not as good as Batman, but it still is much better than most sequal scores.
